Indepth Arts News: "The Grandeur of Viceregal Mexico: Treasures from the Museo Franz Mayer" 2002-03-24 until 2002-08-04 Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Houston, TX, USA
cLocated in Mexico City, the Museo Franz Mayer houses an incomparable collection of Mexican colonial arts assembled by financier Franz Mayer (1882-1975). Although born and reared in Germany, Mayer cherished the heritage of his adopted country, Mexico. He created a museum and donated his substantial collection to the Mexican nation.
The Franz Mayer collection reveals that influences from many cultures-Pre-Columbian, Spanish, Islamic, and Chinese-came together in the art of colonial Mexico. The objects exhibited at the MFAH testify to this fascinating confluence of cultures.
